About

In this talk, Vivek will share with us how he “upgraded” himself in the journey of cancer rehabilitation. In 2006, he was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and went through chemotherapy. When he had many reasons to grieve over his illness, he chose to be thankful for the experience. During treatment and rehabilitation, he decided to let his body rest and keep his mind well-fed. He was among the 2013 Hong Kong Spirit Ambassadors.

Speaker:Vivek Mahbubani

Vivek was born and raised in Hong Kong. He is a stand-up comedian, performing in both English and Cantonese. He was crowned 2007 Cantonese and 2008 English Funniest Comedian in Hong Kong. Aside from comedy, Vivek is the drummer for the local heavy metal band Eve of Sin and a self-employed web designer & developer.
